en'Miseducation': A cowgirl coming-out story for teenshttp://www.kplu.org/post/miseducation-cowgirl-coming-out-story-teens
<strong> </strong><p>Reading a coming-out novel, for me, can feel like approaching a lit fuse. I know it's going to explode, but I'm not sure when. Many of them follow a formula: character struggles with homosexual desire in a homophobic world; character falls in tormented, transformative love; character is unceremoniously outed. Boom. In the fallout, things usually get a lot worse before they get better. As a formula, especially within young adult fiction, the story isn't new. But sometimes, a book appears that shows why the formula endures.Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:58:10 +0000Malinda Lo4074 at http://www.kplu.org'Miseducation': A cowgirl coming-out story for teens
